WORKING ABROAD:

IS IT FOR YOU?

As d an s le es sa Pr r y fo it t rs no ve y ni p

Are you looking for a new challenge at work? Do you want to meet new people and travel? A lot of people work abroad to experience a new culture. Americans especially have a positive experience — 74% of Americans who live abroad say they feel at home in their new country! I talked to some young people from the U.S. about their experiences. EMMA, 27, MEXICO CITY

I work as an English teacher in Mexico City. It’s an amazing city! It’s cheap to live here, so I’m saving a lot of money. Working abroad is not for everyone. I love Mexico, but I miss home, too. My plan is to return home in three months. One year abroad is enough for me!

VANESSA, 25, SÃO PAULO

JUAN, 24, PARIS

I’ve been in São Paulo for two years. I work in IT. My job is sometimes boring, but the city is exciting! I’ve also traveled to other parts of the country. It’s cheap to travel in Brazil, so I try to see a new city or town once a month. I’d like to stay here for a long time and never stop seeing new places.

Living in Paris is very different from back home, but I love my life here. I’m studying basic French and working as an event planner for an American company. I travel all over Europe for work and have friends and coworkers in many countries — my life is very exciting!

There might be some difficulties with living abroad, but a lot of people are doing it these days. It helps you grow professionally and personally. Why don’t you see what opportunities are outside your country?

SUNDAY

Ana and I got to London at 11:30 this morning. It was a very long flight from São Paulo. When we got off the plane, the first thing we noticed was the cold – six degrees! I’m glad I brought a warm coat! In São Paulo, it was 35 degrees when we left. Everything they say about Londoners is true! The people at the airport weren’t very friendly, and they couldn’t understand our English. And we couldn’t understand what they were saying. In the end, we took the subway from Heathrow Airport to our hostel in Earl’s Court, near downtown London. The hostel is full of young tourists from all over the world, and everyone was very friendly and helpful. We were very tired, so we decided to sleep for a few hours. Ana’s telling me to get ready to go and eat, so I have to finish now – more tomorrow.

Ana and I had our first experience of British food last night. We went to a little café near the hostel. We decided to try fish and chips. It’s a typical British dish and it was delicious with a hot cup of tea (with milk!). Today we visited the British Museum and Covent Garden. The British Museum is amazing – there are lots of interesting things to see. We spent two hours there and only saw a few of the rooms. We bought some sandwiches for lunch, and then we went to Covent Garden market. There were lots of musicians and magicians in the street. We had a great afternoon, and Ana took a lot of photos. You can see them on Facebook.

And, of course, next Friday there is the book and calendar sale at lunchtime. 1 We’d like to thank everyone for helping to raise money for ActionAid over the past year. Most of you came to the 1970s party in September. A lot of people also came to our karaoke night in November. So remember that a small amount of money can make a big difference. For example, only $4 per week gives a child in Africa clean water, education, and medicine.

The website has been a huge success, and Martin has done very well. Over 13 million people now use the site every month, and in 2012, Martin Lewis sold the site to another company for approximately $138 million. But Martin hasn’t stopped helping people. Since selling the website, he has given away over $12 million to charities that help people look after their money. He’s certainly made a lot of people smile. And it all started with $100.

d Write about something that you have

Martin was always interested in saving money and helping other people save money. He gave tips to friends about it, he talked about it on television, and he wrote about it in a national newspaper. In 2003, he decided to start a website. He paid a man in Uzbekistan $100 to design the site, and soon thousands of people were using it. The website gave lots of useful information. It told people which times of the day supermarkets had the best offers. It helped people get discounts on everything from clothes to vacations. It told people when stores had sales. The website helped people buy things that they couldn’t afford to buy before. And if you needed to borrow money to buy a new car or a house, it told you which banks were the best to lend it to you. A lot of people started using the site and started telling their friends about it.

Dear Marina, The problem is that I’m feeling very stressed about my job right now. You see, Jim, one of the people on my team, has just left. They haven’t replaced Jim yet, so my boss has given all of his work to the other people on the team, including me. Do you have any advice for me? Sincerely, Anthony

As d an s le es sa Pr r y fo it t rs no ve y ni p

Dear Anthony, Thank you for your email. I’m very pleased that you have written to me for advice. This kind of situation is very common in companies when somebody leaves. I remember this happened when I was working at a bank in Cleveland. One summer, two of the people on my team left the bank at the same time. We had to do all of their work, and it took three months to replace them! Anyway, here are some ideas that might help you. First of all, try not to get too stressed about the situation. I think you should discuss the problem with your coworkers. Maybe they will have some ideas about how to make the situation a little easier? Second, when you have too much work to do, I think it’s a good idea to try to prioritize your work carefully. For example, are there some less urgent jobs that you could do later? Next, I think you should talk to your boss about this problem. He might not realize how much work he has given you, and maybe he can find some other people to help you with it. Finally, I’d try to do something relaxing after work, such as going to the gym or going swimming. It’s important to relax when you’re not at work and to get plenty of sleep. I hope this helps you, and please feel free to come and talk to me in my office. Best, Marina Rodriguez HR Manager

Dear Eva,

You’re right. When customers spend a lot of money on a haircut, they should enjoy the experience, feel relaxed, and get excellent service. I’m surprised Toni doesn’t understand this. How many of your customers would come back if you spent less than 15 minutes with them? I think you should ask your customers for help. Ask them to talk to or write an email to your manager telling him what they like about the service you give them. I think your manager will soon change his mind. Good luck! Eva

NICOLA123 About two years ago, my job was getting really boring. I liked the bank and enjoyed working with my coworkers, but I needed a change. I wanted to become a manager because I thought the work would be more interesting and that I would have the chance to travel to different countries. However, I knew that it was very important for managers in my bank to write and speak excellent Spanish. I studied Spanish in school, but I stopped when I was 16, so I couldn’t remember much. I decided to try and improve my Spanish quickly so that I could apply for a job as a manager. To begin with, I studied my old Spanish textbook from school and did a lot of exercises. After that, I started reading Spanish newspapers online for 30 minutes every day and looked up the meaning of any new words in my dictionary. Soon I could understand nearly everything I read. After a while, I found a website where I could practice listening and speaking. Then, I joined a Spanish class at a language school in my town and went to classes twice a week. In the end, after about 18 months, I could understand and speak Spanish pretty well. I decided to start applying for management jobs at the bank, and last month I got an offer for a job in Santiago, Chile. My new job starts in September, so I have a few weeks to find an apartment. I’m really excited about going to live in Chile.

1 My family didn’t have much money, but my brothers and I had what we needed. We didn’t feel poor. We were like everyone else around here. We used to get together with the other children and play outside every day. We all got along well. It was a nice place to be. Everything used to happen in that street. I met my future husband in the neighborhood. He lived across from us. When we got engaged, we had a party in the street. It was wonderful. It’s changed a lot. It’s a lot quieter now. The children don’t play outside. I know their lives are busier, but I don’t think the kids are happier. And they’re fatter than we were! I can’t believe that so many children are overweight these days.

3 People didn’t use to go on a diet or need to get fit because … a they didn’t like exercising. b they preferred to eat junk food. c they worked so much. 4 People used to smoke a lot because … a it was much cheaper. b they didn’t understand it was dangerous. c you could smoke and buy cigarettes everywhere.

Come to Brighton in May and it’s impossible not to see events – such as plays, concerts, movies, dance performances, and exhibitions – take place across the city in theaters, galleries, the street, on the beach, and even in people’s own houses. There have been some amazing events. Here are some of the highlights from the last two years: Sam Lee is a singer who has spent many years traveling around Britain to find and listen to very old British songs. Many of the songs were written hundreds of years ago, and he performs them with an interesting band of musicians. Kaarina Kaikkonen is a Finnish artist who often uses other people’s clothes to make large sculptures. In Time Passing By, the 23-meter-high Clock Tower in the city center was covered in clothes. It was very popular with visitors and artists.

1 The Brighton Festival … a is a big party that happens on Brighton beach every May. b ✓ happens in many places in the city, and people often have to join in. c happens in people’s houses and is not for visitors to the city.

In To Sleep To Dream, which was written by Daniel Clark, everyone in the audience wears a blindfold (something that covers the eyes so you can’t see) to help them concentrate on the story, which is told with special 3D sound effects and music. In this movie for the ears, your ears become your eyes. Flathampton is a play with a difference. The whole theater is turned into a town, and the audience is taken through the town by the actors. As the story is told, the audience has to help make the buildings in the town that the actors perform in. It’s been extremely popular with children and adults alike.

It’s really interesting, but the best thing about my degree is that next year I’ll spend six months in the U.K. and six months in Germany – I can’t wait!

The U.S. is the most popular country for foreign students, with the U.K. and China as the second and third most popular destinations. The most popular majors for these students are engineering and business administration. Approximately 21% of foreign students are engineering majors, while 19% are business administration majors. A recent report by the Migration Policy Institute (a North American and European organization focused on improving immigration policies) shows that the number of foreign students at U.S. universities has doubled every decade since the 1950s. It reached a record high of 1.1 million in the 2016–17 academic year. So, what makes the U.S. such an attractive place to study?

First, when I booked the room online, I asked for a room with an ocean view. However, I was given a room with a view of the parking lot. Second, the receptionist was very rude to my wife when she had a problem with the shower. In fact, there wasn’t enough hot water for us to take a shower for the first two days of our stay. Finally, the service in the restaurant was too slow. Every morning we had to wait at least half an hour for our breakfast. I look forward to hearing from you.

Expressing results and reasons

a Underline the correct words to complete the sentences.

The bicycle was invented in the 19th century. At first, bicycles were very expensive, but at the beginning of the 20th century, they were mass-produced in large factories. As a result of this, they became much cheaper, and after that, most people could afford to buy one. Bicycles changed the way people traveled short distances. Because of the bicycle, people who didn’t have much money didn’t have to travel to work on buses or trains. As a result, they saved money and could get a job farther away from where they lived. Today, bicycles are the most important form of transportation for people in many countries in the developing world. Cycling is also a very popular sport for many people, since it is a great way to stay fit and healthy. In big cities, a lot of people ride their bikes to work, and this helps reduce pollution and protect the environment. Because of this, it seems to me that the bicycle is one of the most important inventions of the last 200 years.

In my opinion, the most important invention is the electric light bulb. The electric light bulb was invented in the 19th century and slowly replaced gas lighting in the streets of big cities and in people’s homes. With electric lights, the streets of big cities became safer and, as a result, there was less crime. Also, electric light bulbs improved the lighting in people’s houses. As a result, they could do more things when it got dark in the evenings, such as reading books or writing letters. Electric lights have greatly improved the quality of people’s lives, and it is hard to imagine life without them. Naomi Stevens

True

• what happened to you • how you felt at the time • how you feel now.

There are many true stories about people who have been in a plane crash but didn’t die, but what happened to Juliane Koepcke is one of the most amazing stories. Juliane and her parents lived in Peru. On December 24 in 1971, 17-year-old Juliane was on a plane that was flying from Lima to Pucallpa in Peru with her mother, Maria. They were traveling to meet Juliane’s father, who was working in Pucallpa. Unfortunately, the plane never arrived. During the flight, it was hit by lightning and broke up above the rainforest. Juliane fell over 3,000 meters to the ground and landed still in her seat, and amazingly, still alive. Everyone else on board died. Juliane had a broken bone in her neck and cuts on her arms, but surprisingly, she could still walk.

m ss

First of all, she tried to find her mother. Unfortunately, she couldn’t see her, so she decided to look for some food instead. Luckily, she found some candy that passengers had taken with them for the Christmas holiday. This was the only food that she found to eat.

Juliane’s father was a biologist who had spent a lot of time in the rainforests in Peru with his family. Fortunately, he had taught Juliane some important lessons in how to stay alive. The skills that Juliane had learned helped her in the rainforest. When she found a small river, she knew that if she followed it, it would take her to a town. It also gave her fresh water to drink and a natural path through the forest.

She walked and swam for nine days until, as expected, she found an empty hut made of wood. By chance, she also found a boat. Juliane wanted to leave, but she didn’t want to take the boat because it wasn’t hers. So she waited. Luckily, hours later the men who used the hut came back and found Juliane. They helped take care of her. The next day, they took her in the boat down the river to a place where there was a small airplane, which could take her to the hospital in Pucallpa. No one really knows why Juliane lived and everyone else died on the flight, but everyone agrees that it is an amazing story.

Fortunately, everything was still inside it. The old woman thanked Tom and asked him for his telephone number. She explained that she had to leave because she was going to visit a friend in the hospital.

In March 2005, Benjamin Mee received a letter from his sister. Inside was an ad for a house that was for sale. It was a house with a zoo full of animals in its backyard.

Earlier that year, Benjamin’s father had died, and his mother was living alone in a large house in London, which she was trying to sell for $1.5 million, the same price as the zoo. Benjamin, who was living in France with his wife and two children, thought that it would be wonderful for his family to sell his mother’s house and buy the zoo so that they could all live together and take care of each other. He knew that his father, a sensible man, would not have agreed. But Benjamin was thinking of the future.

Surprisingly, his family agreed. Benjamin’s mother was very generous and happy to buy the zoo after selling her house. The year before, she had spent a day at a zoo helping the zookeepers and had really enjoyed taking care of the animals. Benjamin’s wife was more anxious. She was very sick and didn’t want to change her life, but Benjamin said that it would help her and the children think about something else.

If you’d like to visit the zoo that Benjamin’s family bought, it’s called the Dartmoor Zoological Gardens, in southwest England.

On July 7, 2007, the zoo opened, and the first visitors came to see the animals. There were tigers, bears, monkeys, parrots, snakes, and spiders, and a lot of other animals.

Unfortunately, buying the zoo was pretty difficult, but Benjamin was patient and confident, and after a year of trying, in October 2006, they did it. But four days after the family moved into the zoo, there was a disaster. A jaguar, a large spotted cat, had escaped after a zookeeper had forgotten to close a door. The family also needed over $600,000 for repairs before they could open the zoo. Then while they were doing the repairs, Benjamin’s wife died.

On today’s, show new students at Princeton University tell us how they are making friends during the first few weeks of school. First up is Carson. CARSON I don’t particularly like going to parties, and I hardly ever go out at night, so it was difficult for me to make friends. I like people who I have something in common with, so I joined the school hiking club. We meet every Sunday and usually go for a hike in the forests or by the river near the school. It’s a lot of fun, and I talk to all kinds of people. Pr Joining a club is a great way to meet new people. But there are other ways. Let’s hear from Sophia, a 19-year-old student. SOPHIA I’m studying acting, so I like talking to people. I’m not particularly interested in joining a club because I usually prefer to meet people who like a lot of different things.

a huge traffic jam half an hour later. Peter from East Point just texted on eight-seven-six-six-three to say that there is a long line of cars now. So if you need to get to Hapeville this evening, you might want to get off the highway and go on Metropolitan Parkway. Highway 20 is looking a lot better today. There were no delays when I last checked, which is great for anyone who is going to the annual fall festival at Sweetwater Creek State Park tomorrow. If you’re driving there, look for parking before the festival. There will be signs. However, police warn not to park your car and walk on the side of the highway. Unusually, there aren’t many problems on the subway today, but if you are going away this weekend, a lot of subway lines aren’t working normally, so check before you go. If you are flying from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, please call your airline before you go. The computer systems at the airport weren’t working this morning and many flights were canceled today. The computers are working now, but there are long delays and even longer lines! James and Fatima called to say their flight to India was delayed by over 12 hours, and they had to check into a hotel by the airport for the night. But I’m happy to say that they’ve boarded their plane now and are on their way. Well, I hope they have a visa or they’ll have another long line when they arrive! I hope so, too! It sounds like they’re going to have a real adventure. Back to you, George. Thanks, Sara. And here’s the latest song by …

GARY Hi, Baz. Last year I was downtown when a tourist asked me how to get to the museum. I gave him directions, and then we started talking. He was from Colombia, and he was really friendly. Then it started raining really hard. He didn’t have a jacket, so I lent him my umbrella. I asked him to bring it to my office when he was leaving Silver Lake, and then I forgot about it. Four days later, he brought it to my office. I didn’t expect that. We went and got coffee together. We got along well and we became friends. When he left, he invited me to visit him in Colombia next December. I’ve been saving up all year, and I’ve just booked my ticket. I can’t wait! DJ That’s a great story, Gary. Enjoy your vacation! Before we go, I’ve gotten an email from Mike in Darwin. He has started a group called “Give someone a hug, make someone smile.” Every Sunday, he walks around downtown with his friends, giving people hugs and hopefully making them smile. Good luck with that, Mike – and be careful!

M The party is in the town hall, which is huge. Laura has a really big family. I Do you have to do anything at the wedding? M Yeah, I’m going to read a poem I wrote. I Great! That’s exciting. I guess you’re going to need a new suit for that. M Yes, I have to look my best, especially in front of all those Italian guests. I Really? M Yes, they always look really nice. My dad’s going to buy me a new suit if I do well in school. Something really nice. I Great! Can you speak any Italian? M Si. Un po’! But I’m starting classes next week. The Italian guy in our class, Gavino, is teaching me. I That’s a good idea. How long are you going to Italy for? M I’m going for two weeks. I’m flying to Rome with my parents on July 14, and we’re going to go sightseeing for a few days. My mom wants to see all the ancient buildings. I I love Rome. You can walk down a street of really cool modern buildings, then turn a corner and see something that’s 2,000 years old. It’s amazing. M Wow, I can’t wait to go. I Anyway, I have to go. I’m going on a date tonight, and I want to go to the hairdresser’s before it closes. M OK, well, make sure you shave before you meet her, Isaac. I Don’t worry, I will. See you tomorrow. M OK, see you then.

05.04 INTERVIEWER Thank you for coming in, Josh. First of all, I’d like to talk about your résumé. You have some good qualifications, but you’ve had a lot of different jobs in the last five years. Can you talk about those? JOSH Yes, I worked as a construction worker when I finished college. I enjoyed being outside and getting exercise, but I had to work many hours every day and start early in the morning, which I hated, so I decided to look for other jobs. I So, you don’t like working long hours then. Hmm. Tell me about your next job. You worked as a hairdresser, didn’t you? J Yes, I did. I learned a lot of skills while I was there, and I really liked the place. But I didn’t like having to talk to people every day. I had to talk to the customers and make coffee. I Hmm. OK. What about your last job? You were an IT worker. J Yes, that was great. I earned a good salary, and I worked with a nice team of people. Sometimes when we were busy, I had to work on weekends, which wasn’t great, but I usually just worked Monday to Friday. I didn’t have to work with people so much, and I could often just sit at my desk and use the Internet, when we weren’t busy, of course. And my manager didn’t mind what time I started work. I And what time did you usually start work? J The latest I could start was 10:30 a.m. I OK, Josh, so why would you like to work as a bank teller for Bank One? J I’d like to work on a team and get some good experience working in a bank. It looks like a nice environment to work in. And it pays really well, too. I But you don’t like working hard or dealing with people every day. Those are important parts of the job. J Well, … I I’m sorry, Josh, but I don’t think you’re what we’re looking for. Thanks for coming in today and good luck. J Oh. OK. I thought this would be a good job for me. I I don’t think so. But good luck with your search. Thank you. J Thank you.

MADISON Hi, Elena. How are you? ELENA Hi, Madison. Not so good. I’m getting really annoyed with my little brother Jacob at the moment. I’m trying to study for my exams, and he keeps interrupting me. Sometimes he listens to his music very loud late at night. Sometimes he borrows something from me that I need to study, like my headphones or laptop. I can’t concentrate on my work for more than a few minutes. It’s awful. MAD You should go and study in the library. It’s really quiet there, and you won’t have to deal with the interruptions. I go there most weekends to study. MAX You shouldn’t have to go somewhere else. Ask your parents to deal with your brother. Your exams are more important than your brother. Your parents understand that. E That’s a good idea, Max. I’ll ask my dad for help tonight. My brother will listen to him. And I’ll also think about going to the library this weekend. It’s nice to have a change sometimes when you’re studying. How’s your studying going, Max? MAX My problem is, I just can’t remember anything from history. I read a page, and then ten minutes later I’ve forgotten it. MAD That’s not unusual. You should try writing down what you’ve just read. It’s amazing how much more you will remember that way. E And you should also record yourself reading your notes out loud, and then you can listen to them on your phone. You’ll be surprised how much you can remember. MAX Yes, I’ll definitely try those ideas. E Sometimes I even sing my notes. It’s a little embarrassing, but it will help you remember a lot of information. MAX That’s a great idea. MAD Any advice to help me understand physics? It’s so confusing. I look at it, I can read it, I can remember it, but when I think about it, I just don’t understand it. E It doesn’t sound like physics is your subject, Madison. Maybe you should try something else! MAX That’s not very nice, Elena. I’m really interested in physics. I’d be happy to help you with it if you like, Madison. I think you just need someone to explain it to you. MAD Thanks, Max. I think that Elena might be right, but I really want to pass the physics exam this year, so I don’t have to do it again next year. Are you free this weekend? MAX No, I’m afraid not. I need to record all my history notes on my phone!

A Where does it hurt? Can you show me? B Here, in this area. A Can I take a look? So, does it hurt here? B Yes, it does. It hurts all the time. I can’t get to sleep. A Are you taking anything for the pain? B Yes, I’ve taken some ibuprofen. A Well, I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. B Phew! That’s good to hear. A I think it’s just indigestion. B Just indigestion? What a relief! A I’ll give you a prescription for some medicine. Take two pills every four hours. B OK. Thank you, Doctor.

MATT Now on Riverside Radio it’s time for our weekly guide to what’s going on this weekend. As usual, we’re going to talk to four listeners with very different interests about what they recommend doing this weekend. First of all, we’ll talk to Rachel from Albany. RACHEL Hi, Matt. There’s a lot happening this weekend if you like outdoor sports. Rock climbing at the Stirling Ranges has started again for the year. All of the climbing routes have been included in the new guidebook, which can be bought only at the information center. But be careful! This is only for experienced climbers. But if water is more your thing, then the Margaret River Surfers will be out on the water somewhere in the area. Where they meet depends on the waves, but all the information you need is on their website. M Thanks, Rachel. That sounds like a lot of fun. Let’s talk to Gareth now in Perth. GARETH Hi, Matt. If you’re interested in Italy and art, there’s the Italian Arts Festival. It includes movies which have been directed by many of Italy’s greatest directors, and if you go to the art gallery, you can also see photographs of the actors taken by the directors. The movies will be shown at the Luna Palace Movie Theater. M Thanks a lot, Gareth. Let’s talk to Carolina now in Fremantle. What’s your weekend looking like? CAROLINA It’s all about the written word in Fremantle this weekend. The annual poetry festival, which has been going on for ten years, returns. As usual, the festival has been organized by the Fremantle Young Poets Society and includes something for everyone. The highlight this year is the performance of “bush poetry” by a group of young poets, to music performed by local folk musicians, The Western Arc, on the beach at Wilson Park, south of Fremantle.

It’s great to see so many of our old classmates here, and I hope you all have a great evening. Dinner will be … SEAN Wow, I haven’t seen some of these people for at least 20 years. It’s funny to see how everyone has changed. SARAH I know. I was just talking to Nick Downes. Do you remember him? He used to be really good looking. He was the most popular boy in our class. SE Yes, I remember Nick. Is that him over there? SA Yes. He’s put on a lot of weight, hasn’t he? Apparently, he just got divorced from Jenny Wang. She wanted him to go on a diet and give up smoking and drinking coffee. But you know Nick – he never liked doing what he was told. SE Yes, I remember! So he hasn’t changed that much then. Who’s that attractive thin woman he’s talking to? Isn’t it Lisa Baker? SA Yes, I was talking to her earlier. She used to be really overweight, didn’t she? She was telling me that she went on a diet and started getting fit about ten years ago. She’s a lot more confident now and a lot healthier. She’s just gotten engaged to a man from Germany. SE That’s really good to hear. I used to get along well with Lisa. SA Have you seen Mike Andrews yet? You know, little Mike. He used to be poor and drove a really old car. SE Yes, of course. SA He arrived in a brand-new sports car. He started a computer company and got rich. That’s him talking to Kristina Martinez, Emma Alexander, and Rachel Anastasio. SE Wow! He looks great. And he seems to be a lot more popular than he used to be! SA Ha, yes. Oh, wow. Look who’s just arrived! It’s Brian Ramirez. With Nicole Aydin. SE Yes, I saw they’d gotten together on Facebook. It’s funny. They used to hate each other. SA I know. They used to fight all the time. They look really happy now. SE Yeah. Oh, and what about Martin Dowd? Is he coming? I remember you used to really like him. SA Yes, he was very popular. I got in touch with him last month to see if he was going to come. Unfortunately, he couldn’t. He’s getting married this weekend.

JENNY Well, it’s time to get active in Bunbury this weekend. It’s the annual 10-km race on Sunday. I’ve been training for the last three months for this, so I’m really looking forward to it. But if you haven’t done any training, you’re still welcome. Over 1,000 people will be running, jogging, or walking, and I’m sure everyone will enjoy the race, which was won last year by local athlete Jack Harding. It starts at 10 a.m. M Well, good luck with that, Jenny. I hope you have a great time. I might come along to support you. So, it sounds like there are a lot of things to do this weekend, for people who want to get active, and for those who prefer to get their brains working. I hope you’ve heard something that you’re interested in doing and, most of all, I hope you have a great weekend.

10.06 ZUZA Haluk, you buy a lot of things online, don’t you? HALUK Yes, I do. I think it’s really convenient and usually much cheaper than going to a store. You can go shopping when you feel like it, and there are no lines to deal with. I’d do all my shopping online if I could. Z And never leave your house! What I don’t like is that you have to wait a few days for what you’ve bought to be delivered. That makes me think twice about buying online. H That’s true, but you don’t have to wait too long. Usually it arrives in one or two days. Z What was the last thing you bought online? H I bought a new coat last week. Z I would never buy clothes online. You can’t try them on. H I saw a photo of the coat, and there was also a description of it. Z And were you happy with it when it arrived? H Not really. It was the wrong size. It was too small for me, and the color was different from the photo. The description wasn’t very good either. The website said that it was a leather coat, but I don’t think it is. Z Did you complain? H Yes, I wrote an email to the company and asked for a refund. Z And what happened? H They haven’t replied yet. Z Hmm. Well, if I were you, I’d call them up and ask for a refund, and an explanation, too. H Yes, I’ll do that next week. I’m sure it’ll be fine. Z I wouldn’t keep on using that company, though. Have you had any other problems buying things online? H A few. Occasionally things break in the mail. And sometimes the mail carrier isn’t careful with something. I bought a book a few weeks ago, and when it arrived, it was completely wet. I think the mail carrier had dropped it in some water. But it’s usually fine. I buy a lot of books and presents online. It’s great because you can find absolutely everything. There’s so much more choice than at the local bookstore. Z Yes, but I enjoy looking around the bookstore. It’s really enjoyable. H Me too. Sometimes I find the book in the store and then buy it online! It’s often a lot cheaper. Z Hmm, but if everyone did that, there wouldn’t be any more bookstores or stores of any kind! That would be awful. H I don’t think that would happen. Z It’s happening right now. A lot of stores have closed down in our town because people shop online. H Well, I’m going to keep on shopping online. Z And I’m going to keep on going to the stores. It’s fun, sociable, and who knows, I might meet someone interesting at the bookstore. If you went shopping more, you might meet someone, too. You certainly won’t meet anyone sitting at home on your computer.

Problems, Professor Ryan? Yes. The last two essays that you wrote for me were pretty bad. I really don’t think that you read any of the books. And you handed them both in late. I know that you’re very busy at the moment, but so is everyone, and all the other students managed to do the essays on time. I’m sorry. I had six essays to write this semester. I know that you just finished high school last year, but when you start a degree in psychology, that’s how it is. If your next essay is late, I will refuse to grade it. OK? Yes, I understand. You’ve also avoided coming to my class for the last two weeks. If you don’t come to class, you won’t learn anything, Roberto. This is really important. Do you not like listening to my lectures, or do you have something better to do? No, of course not. I really regret not coming, but I was sick. But one of the other students agreed to lend me his notes. OK. Well, I recommend reading them very carefully. And if you don’t understand something, come and talk to me. There are exams at the end of this course, and if you don’t attend every lecture, there is a good chance that you will fail. Yes, I know. I’ve started studying for them already. Well, that’s good news. I’ve arranged to meet a group of students every Wednesday afternoon to talk about the exam. I think it would be very useful for you to join us. Yes, that sounds really useful. Unfortunately, I play soccer every Wednesday. Soccer is very important to me, Professor Ryan. And your degree isn’t? Yes, that is very important, too. Of course. Only 25 students get accepted every year to study psychology at this university. You are very lucky to be here. If your work doesn’t get better, you may have to leave the program. I want you to think very carefully about what is most important to you. I will. Thank you. Do you have any questions that you want to ask me? Yes, there is something. Which books should I read? The books on the reading list. Which list is that? The list that I gave you at the start of the class. I don’t think I have it. So, you haven’t read any of the books then. Uh, no, I haven’t.

I enjoy studying math in school, but I hate taking exams. If you take notes in class, it will be easier to study for the exam. I’m going to work harder next year, so that I get better grades.

Good morning. Please take a seat. I’ll be with you in a moment … Now, how can I help you? Could you help us find a hotel in Miami, please? Yes, of course. Would you like a hotel in South Beach? Yes, if possible. OK, how about Paradise Hotel? They have some available rooms. Do they have free parking? Yes, they do, but you can walk to all the great places! It’s about a five-minute walk to Ocean Drive. And it’s across the street from the beach. It’s one of the nicest hotels in all of Miami. Great. Can you ask if they have a double room for three nights? And can you check the price? Yes, sure. I’m afraid hotels in Miami are really expensive. A lot of people think that Miami’s the most expensive beach city for tourists in the U.S. Yes, the hotel that we stayed in last year cost over $300 a night! OK, I’ve booked it for you. If you’re coming from the highway, go down Alton Road and make a left on 7th Street. It’s on the left, across from the beach. Great. Thank you very much.

We’re going to Kerala. How’s your trip been so far, Brad? B Aside from the mosquitoes and the spiders, pretty good. I had a great time in Delhi. I stayed with this Indian guy, Raj, who I’d met through a couch surfing website. He was really sociable and took me to some really amazing places. D Yeah, we’ve met some great Indian people. Really friendly and generous. B Yeah, but not everyone. I had a pretty bad time in Jaipur. D What happened? B I met these two brothers, Jay and Vikram, in a tea house. Jay was really funny and confident. He knew a lot about California. Viki was older and a bit more sensible. They offered to show me around, and they seemed reliable, so I agreed. We went sightseeing, and they told me about their lives. Viki said that they could take me to see some tigers the next day if I wanted. L Sounds cool. B Well, then they started telling me about their business. They sold jewelry. They took me to their factory and showed me around. Then they tried to sell me some. I didn’t want to, but in the end, I said I would buy a small piece. They said it would be ready the next day, and then took me back to my hostel. The next day I felt a little anxious, but I went to their factory to pick up the jewelry. They had made my piece and had made 30 other necklaces, too. They said that this was what I had asked for the day before. They told me that I would have to pay 100 dollars for the jewelry. I had only taken 10 dollars with me when I left that morning. Jay said that he would take me to a cash machine to get the money. I hadn’t taken my debit card with me, but I didn’t tell him that. We drove to a bank and we all got out. I didn’t know where I was, but I decided to run away. I started running and Jay followed me. But I was faster, and after a few minutes I was safe. I waited behind a trash can on a small street for a while, and then went onto the main road and found a taxi. The driver could see how anxious I was and drove me back to the hostel. I told him what had happened, and he was pretty angry with them. He was really generous and didn’t charge me anything. The next day I took the first train out of Jaipur! L Sounds awful. But hey, that’s a pretty cool story you have. D Yeah. B Yeah, I know. I’m sure you have some stories. And we have another three hours on this train! L No worries, buddy. So, we were in Varanasi …

REPORTER Police are looking for two men who stole money from a cash machine outside Western Bank on Harris Road here in Reno at midnight last night. The men arrived at the bank in a large car and crashed into the cash machine on purpose four times. Monica Edwards is the woman who saw what happened. MONICA I live across from the bank and was in bed at the back of my apartment. But just before midnight, I got up to go to the bathroom. When I heard a car going very fast, I went into the living room and looked out the front window. I’ve never seen anything like it. The car drove up to the cash machine at about 50 miles per hour and didn’t stop.

I thought it was an accident, but amazingly, they did it again and again. I called the police immediately. What did the men do next? They got out of the car, put on some gloves, and tried to break the cash machine open with a baseball bat, which they got from the back of the car. Fortunately, they couldn’t open it, but then the driver got back into the car and drove into the machine again. Can you describe the men? Yes, I can. Fortunately, there were streetlights on, so it was easy to see them. The man who was driving the car was about 20 years old, very tall, and with very short hair. The other man was about the same age, was short, and had dark hair, a hat, and sunglasses. Um ... how long did it take them to get the cash machine open? Unfortunately, the second time the machine broke, and they could steal some money. Luckily, the police also arrived at this time, so the men managed to take only a small amount of money. They quickly jumped back into the car and tried to drive off. But they drove backward into a road sign, and then, unsurprisingly, the car didn’t start because it was so damaged. So they got out and ran away down Park Avenue. Did the police go after them? Yes, the police car followed them, but the men ran into the park and disappeared. I hear that you found something nearby. Yes, I found a key ring with the name Terry on it and a house key. It was next to the car. I think one of the men dropped it. I gave it to the police when they came back. And what about the car? The police think that the men stole it from a parking lot earlier in the day. Thank you, Mrs. Edwards. Photos of the two men which were taken by security cameras outside the bank will be on the TV show Everyday Criminals on channel 7 tonight at 8. And now, over to Adam with today’s sports news.

They live about 30 km from Istanbul in a small town on the Bosphorus. It’s very hot right now, but there is a big swimming pool near their house, so we go swimming there every day.

Hello everyone, This email is to say a big “Thank you!” to everyone who helped us raise money for Save the Children over the past 12 months. We have successfully raised $495! Most of you came to the Save the Children sports day in September. That was a great event and we all had a lot of fun. A lot of you also came to our 1990s karaoke night in October. And, of course, next week there’s our popular quiz night with big prizes for the winning team. Save the Children will use our money to save children’s lives and to give them a better future. Last year, Save the Children helped ten million children around the world. A small amount can make a big difference. For example, just $3 can save the lives of eight children with a stomach virus. Would you like to help us raise more money for Save the Children? Email us and we can tell you about our future events. Thanks again for all your help.

Dear Kento, Thanks for your message. I’m glad that you’ve written to me asking for some ideas. I remember when I was learning Japanese, listening was the most difficult thing for me, too. I could understand when my teacher was talking to me, but it was very hard to understand when other people were speaking. Here are some ideas to help you improve your listening in English. First of all, don’t worry if you don’t understand every word you hear. That’s impossible! You should concentrate only on the most important words. Second, try to get extra listening practice outside the classroom. For instance, you can go to the learning center and practice listening with their listening exercises, such as the listening tracks from your Student’s Book. You should also listen to the radio in English and watch English or American TV. It’s a good idea to watch movies with the subtitles. Next, you can also practice listening to podcasts. It’s easy to download short stories onto your computer or phone. Finally, it’s a good idea to listen to pop songs while you read the words at the same time. There are lots of websites that give you the words of the most popular pop songs. I hope this helps and please feel free to talk to me after class next week. Good luck, Tina

About two years ago, I used to travel to work every day by bus. It was an awful ride because of all the traffic and sometimes it took me over an hour to get there. So I decided that I needed to find a quicker way to travel to work. I decided to buy a bicycle. The problem was that I wasn’t very fit.

I bought an old bicycle from a friend of mine. At first, I was frightened of riding the bike on the road with all the cars and trucks. To begin with, I took my bike to the little park near my house every day and rode very slowly for about five or ten minutes. After a while, I started riding my bike along the quiet roads to the stores about two kilometers from my house. Then I started biking the five kilometers from my house to downtown. In the end, I went everywhere on my bicycle!

War Horse by Michael Morpurgo is the story of Joey, a horse that is sold to the British Army at the beginning of World War I. He is sent to France and is ridden by Captain Nicholls. However, Captain Nicholls is killed in the fighting, and Joey is given to a younger soldier named Warren. While he is with Warren, Joey becomes friends with another horse named Topthorn, and they have a lot of adventures during the war. Later in the story, Joey and Topthorn are taken by the Germans. Topthorn is killed, but Joey works for the German army until the end of the war. Although this book was written for children, I really enjoyed it. The story is very interesting, and the characters are described very well. You can really imagine what World War I was like. It’s a beautiful story, although it’s also really sad and it made me cry. However, there is a happy ending because at the end of the war, Joey is returned to Albert, who was his original owner before he was sold to the army. I couldn’t put the book down until I got to the end, and I would definitely recommend it.

I studied English for ten years at school, so I can write it pretty well, but I can’t speak it very well, so I need to practice! How do you feel about this online course? I really want to learn more about American movies because I’ve always loved watching them. I hope the course will help me improve my English. I’m looking forward to talking about all the movies we’re going to watch with the other students in the course. I’m sure my English will improve quickly during the course. What do you do when you’re not studying? When I’m not studying, I play a lot of sports. I play tennis once or twice a week and sometimes golf on weekends. I also go to the gym at the university because I like keeping really fit. Sometimes I do yoga when I feel stressed. It really helps me relax.

Dear Mr. Hurst, Thank you for your email of July 10 about the problems you had during your stay at our hotel. I am writing to apologize for the poor service you had while you were staying with us. Unfortunately, we have had a few problems with our website recently. I think that is why you were not given a room with an ocean view. We have also had some problems with our water heating system in the last few weeks, so this is why sometimes there was not enough hot water for showers or baths. Finally, we did not have enough staff in our restaurant while you were staying with us because three of our servers became sick. I hope you will come and stay at our hotel in Cartagena again. I would like to offer you a 50% discount the next time you come to the Hotel Dante. This is our way of apologizing for the problems you have had. Sincerely, Fabián García Manager Hotel Dante

In my opinion, the most important invention of the last 25 years has been the cell phone. Before it was invented, if you wanted to speak to somebody on the phone, you had to be at home, in the office, or in a public phone booth. With a cell phone, it is much easier to keep in contact with your friends, your family, and your coworkers than before. You can have a conversation wherever you are – on the street, at the supermarket, in a car, or on a train. Because of this, it is also easier for people to stay in touch with their children or with their elderly relatives. It is also very useful to have a cell phone if you have an accident or if you need to call the police. These days, cell phones are not only devices that let you make phone calls and send texts. You can also take photos, record videos, listen to music, surf the Internet, and talk to your friends on Facebook. I believe it’s the most useful thing I have. In fact, I don’t know where I would be without it.

a Suggested answer:

Last year, I went on a hiking trip in Utah with three of my friends. We had only been there for a day when the accident happened. We had just gotten to the top of a mountain, and we were eating some sandwiches that we’d made for lunch. A few minutes later, the weather changed completely. It had been a clear, sunny day when we left the town where we were staying. However, now it was snowing heavily, and you could only see clearly for about 20 meters. We started walking down the path toward the next town where we were going to spend the night. The snow was getting deeper, so we walked slowly down the mountain. All of us were confident hikers, so we didn’t think we would have any problems. Suddenly, I heard a shout from behind me. When I turned around my friend Anthony was lying on the ground. He said that he had fallen over a rock. As soon as I saw him, I knew it was serious. He said his leg was hurting badly and that he thought he had broken it. We decided to call for help. Fortunately, my cell phone was getting a signal, so I managed to call the emergency services.

After a while, the mountain rescue team arrived in their helicopter. They landed very close to where we were. They carried Anthony to the helicopter, and we all got in with him. Ten minutes later, we arrived at the hospital. Luckily, Anthony’s leg wasn’t badly broken, and they didn’t need to operate. By the next day, Anthony could leave the hospital. We all felt very relieved. David

2 She’s a really honest person. If sales assistants give her too much change, she always tells them. 3 He’s very easygoing. I’m sure he won’t mind if you bring your friend with you when you go to his house for dinner. 4 I’m not a very confident person. For example, I don’t like speaking when I’m in a meeting with a large group of people. 5 Teachers have to learn to be patient with their students because sometimes they don’t learn things immediately. 6 Why are you always so careless! You’ve already lost your cell phone twice this year!
